No promises, but if anything will help your Monday moodiness, it’s these bags.

In the inimitable words of Blink 182, “work sucks, I know.” Or maybe it doesn’t; maybe you love your job—I hope you do. But even if so, there’s no denying that the mass return to office is…an adjustment. Now that many business and corporations are trending away from WFH, it means we’re making like Kim K says and getting our f—king asses up and working! Going back to the real office, however, means leaving the comfort of your home office (your bed), packing a thermos (not with wine), and putting on real business clothes (ugh). And of course, you can’t forget to pack a bag with all your workday essentials. It’s a lot, but I’m here to help—with the bag part anyway.
